Abstract

In various embodiments, an optical system to present an image to an eye of a user is disclosed. The system comprises a waveguide configured to output collimated light towards an optically powered element comprising at least one holographic component to generate optical power. The optically powered element is configured to receive the output collimated light from the waveguide and direct the received light towards the eye of the user and impart an angular offset on the directed light such that the directed light forms a virtual image plane.
